Tic-toc, tic-toc, every second, every minute, every hour, every day, change is onging. So many of us do not want change to happen, so we adhere to schedules and routines that keep us safe and secure in the knowledge that sameness is there. Time will never catch up with us. Surprise! How wrong we are. We change, we're changing, the world around us changes, and so does our environment. We can call it growing, aging, or just life. It doesn't escape us. What was there two years ago is gone now.
Seasonal changes rest deeply within me. I watch the colors of each season emerge and wane. Summer is promises kept, and winter is hope for what is to come. Greys, reds and browns cover the winter hills now. I can't wait for the fresh, new greens and rainbow bursts of spring color.
Smiling faces warm the days of spring and summer. Family is here now, but some of them are gone also. Warm memories are like the distant foggy hills. Some memories stay fresh and remind me of the best that family gives. Kids, grand kids, fresh young faces bubbling over keep me joyful and full of hope.
As an animal lover, I ponder the loss of my two oldest kitties this winter. I miss them and I remember all that we have been through together. There has been a lot changes for me and for them since I found them both in Austin, TX. Good buddies and friends to the end. I will pet their buddies as affectionately as I can and remember them. You see, they came right off the street, as I rescued them and then made them my friends. I think they changed my life and many of the constants in it. Rest in peace my friends.
